Stress Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You think your head's aching
I'm not finished yet
I won't be mistaken
How soon you forget
Take back what you said
And I'll spare you pain
Then you can spare me all your fucking lies

[Chorus]
I can't wait
I can't wait to get away
Yeah

[Verse 2]
I ask you twenty more times
Don't you hear a thing?
You're testing my patience again
Careful for your sake
Take a walk with me there
And I'll show you pain
But who said you can open up your mouth?

[Chorus]
I can't wait
I can't wait to get away
Yeah
[Bridge]
Sometimes I just feel like I need to get away
A place where I can be by myself, all alone
I kinda lay down in the backyard
Watch the leaves fall down on my face
It helps me become sane again

Yeah
Thoughts are pissed away
And for a minute, I couldn't swallow
Don't you remember when
You didn’t really care about anything?
Can I remember what I did?
Did it matter?

Thoughts are pissed away
And for a minute, I couldn't swallow
If you think that I'm the one
Who'll be here come tomorrow

[Bridge 2]
You took me in
In time, I'll be here
Not waiting, not waiting for you
Anymore
I love you, I love you anyway
Is it so rare that I've been sleeping with the dead?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
